Calling all Stanford Fall 2009 applicants!

Just submitted. Best of luck to everybody!

so to everyone who hit today's deadline...how does it feel to now know what is most important to you and why??

Stanford is very important for me and that is why I've postponed my almost completed package to R2

Heh, I may keep you company in R2.

same ere..R2

ditto

here here. could have submitted it today but my gut said no.

If feels good not to have to compete with a walker or a TL...

Do you guys know what the recommender questions are for Stanford? I can't find them.

I am a 32 years old Indian male with more than 8 years of IT and Entrepreneurial experience(Founder Codearmory.com). I have a good profile and good GMAT and good undergraduate degree( IIT..premier Indian institute).

But what I am scared of is my age. Rumor has it that if you are above 30, Stanford won't admit you,howsoever good your profile is. Anyone has any idea what's the grain of truth in it?

Recommender questions:



Plus a skills evaluation checkbox grid. I've attached the actual Letter of Reference form.

Nice! You rock TL

Just wanted to let you guys know that late recommendations are ok. my recommender for Stanford R1 just submitted hers. she called the school to apologize and make sure they would include it and they said no worries at all and it happens all the time.

also, for HBS (my recommender also sent hers in late for HBS!), Dee posted the following:

"What if my recommender can't meet the application deadline? Will my application be held over into the next decision round?"

Here's what we do:

If an application has two submitted recommendations, we send it out for review by the Admissions Board in the round in which the application arrived. If the third recommendation comes in, we make every attempt to add it to the file. Since the file can be in any number of places and we can't stop the reading flow, we can't promise that the recommendation will be added before review is complete.

Applications with only one submitted recommendation are held up for the next round.

R2 for me as well as of right now. That what matters to you question is a killer.

i'm in for R1. here's hoping..

I just turned to 37 on Tuesday. I don't think the rumor will stop me from applying. But I am sure it will be very difficult for older applicants.

Good luck everyone in R1!!!

terry12 is over 30 (sorry to reveal your age, terry ) and at Stanford right now, so it's not impossible. But you better be VERY GOOD to get in if you're over 30.
